In 1959 Lawrence Croteau, recognizing the increasing demand for automatic transmission repair, opened his first repair shop with two bays and one helper in Oakdale, a suburb of Binghamton next to Johnson City. Having trained as a machinist while in the Navy during WWII, he later gained extensive experience in several automotive machine shops locally. His natural mechanical aptitude quickly gained him a reputation for quality transmission repair, and for over 30 years he enjoyed serving the needs of area motorists.

Today, Larry's son Maurice, along with his loyal crew of expert technicians, continues to stay on the cutting edge of modern powertrain technology with a modern well equipped 4 bay shop. Over 100 years of combined experience means they can solve even the toughest problems in an efficient and timely manner. And along with training and technical support from ATRA, they can also offer nationwide warranty coverage at hundreds of ATRA member shops throughout the USA and Canada.

Croteau's Transmission Service pledges to all of our customers that we will not remove a transmission from a vehicle in order to complete a repair unless absolutely necessary.
